Writing from the British Museum on May 3, 1861, Sir Richard Owen expresses his inability to contribute to the Review of Popular Science: My Dear Sir, My literary engagements are such as to preclude the possibility of my writing anything for your Review of Popular Science '' to which, however, I wish every success. Believe me, Yours very truly. Richard Owen Written on ivory laid paper, approx. 4 ½ x7. Sir Richard Owen (1804-1892) was a British anatomist, paleontologist, and outstanding naturalist who identified dinosaur fossils calling them Dinosauria. He was a curator of the Hunterian collections, a professor of anatomy and physiology at the Royal Institution, and the superintendent of the natural history departments of the British Museum (1856-84). He initiated the creation of the current Natural History Museum in Kensington. He damaged his reputation in later years with his relentless criticism of Darwin s work on the origin of species.
